PS4, Xbox One party chat supports up to eight party people [update]

You can gab and gossip with up to seven pals using PS4 voice chat, but the real test will be deciding which of your 2000 bestest buddies to invite to the party on November 15.

PlayStation Social Media Manager Sid Shuman revealed the figure on the PS Blog, saying, "Party Voice Chat will support up to 8 players on PS4, like PS Vita." On the subject of Vita, Sony Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida tweeted recently that party chat will work between Vita and PS4. So that's cross-platform, cross-game chat - not too shabby, really.

Update: AMicrosoft spokesperson told Game Informer the Xbox One also supports up to eight people in party chat. So, final score: Xbox One 8-8 PlayStation 4.
